If you propose to change a long-standing policy, an analysis
demonstrating a real need for such a change.
In this case, a public disclosure of what patented material
you consider necessary, and a demonstration of the necessity
seems a prerequisite to your action, so that the community
can judge for itself the claims of necessity.
Your disclosure to date has not been impressive: continued
non-disclosure may reflect to W3C's discredit.
